𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇...
𝐆𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬 had spent seven years building a life in Lexington. Her mom announced they were moving back to Boston, and that they'd be staying with an "old friend," Gianna didn't think much of it. Even hearing the name "Sturniolo" didn't ring any bells. At first, it was just unfamiliar faces and polite smiles. Three boys who seemed to know her better than she knew them. A house that somehow felt lived-in to her, even though she couldn't place why. It was unsettling more than anything.
The more time Gianna spent around them, the more the past began to surface-but not in clear memories. It came in flashes. Moments that felt too real to be imagined, but too incomplete to understand.
And the strangest part?
Some of those memories didn't feel like they were supposed to exist at all. Especially the ones with Matt.
𝐎𝐑 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇...
Matt Sturniolo hadn't thought about her in years-not really. Whatever memories he had were vague, tucked away like old photos he never bothered to look at. So when his parents told him an old friend and her daughter were moving in for a while, he didn't expect it to mean anything.
Until he saw her.
The moment Gianna stepped through the door, something shifted. It wasn't instant recognition. All of the memories of them together came rushing back so fast it almost knocked the air out of him.
And the worst part? She looked at him like he was a stranger.
